[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not now, but I was for the past 5 years.

The last 3, I was working full-time, but I'm single with a kid and I was making less than $25K. Last year, I was unemployed for 3mo due to a move and I made $18K total. I got everything back, plus the EITC. The money helped me pay off debt and get back on my feet.

I also qualified for daycare assistance, WIC and my son qualified for Medicaid his 1st year and CHIP until I got my current job. I qualified for Medicaid during my pregnancy and immediately afterwards. Then I went 2yrs without insurance, which I'm paying for now as I left things untreated (mainly my teeth).

I'm white, raised in an UMC family, and I have a BA. I also made the mistake of marrying a deadbeat, although I wised up when DC was 8mo and divorced him. We lived in a very conservative area where jobs were scarce and didn't pay well.

In the past 18mo, I've more than doubled my income and I'll be paying income tax this year. I have no problem paying, I'm grateful there was a safety net and help when I needed it and I hope that others are able to get that hand-up that I received. I'll be voting for Obama in Nov. [/quote]

Maybe you should have made better decisions with who you married and decided to have a child with.[/quote]

This comment is hateful and uncalled for.  No shit, moron.  The point is that she did something about it, and she is not the welfare queens you wingers imagine.  She is back on her feet and that is in the best interest of society.  Not that you apparently care about the good of society.  Another hard core (selfish) individualist, I suppose.[/quote]
